Ecology & Habitat

Habitat

Open woodland, forest edge, clearings, plantations and scrub (Tropical and Subtropical zones) (AOU 1983). In U.S., breeds primarily in sycamore-walnut canyons at 1500-1800 m. Costa Rica: in breeding season prefers dry forest and borders of wetter forest, semi-open, and open country country with scattered trees (Stiles and Skutch 1989). Usually nests in a tree cavity, sometimes in an abandoned woodpecker hole, 3-27 m above ground (Terres 1980, Stiles and Skutch 1989). May also nest in a bird box.

Reproduction

Clutch size is 2-4. Incubation, by female, lasts 15-16 days. Altricial young are tended by both adults, leave nest 16-18 days after hatching (Terres 1980).
